With its $180 Inspiron 11 3000, Dell offers a fairly complete Windows 10 experience for a very low price. We also appreciate the strong sound and long-lasting battery, but this laptop's dim display and shallow keys prevent it from being a top budget pick. For $20 more, you can get the Lenovo Ideapad 100S, which has a more comfortable keyboard and even longer battery life.

60% Dell Inspiron 11 3000 Series review - fun, budget Windows
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
As far as budget laptops go, the Inspiron 11 would make a great first laptop. It feels reassuringly durable, the bold, fun design is very appealing, and I wouldn’t have any qualms about giving it to a younger user. It’s also a respectable choice for a student. The only major flaw is the screen, but this might not bother you given the price.

50% The Too Pricey, Too Compromised 2-in-1

The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 is an awkward 2-in-1 with an inflated price tag and some surprisingly limited features. If you are going to get it, make sure you get it cheap.

The $440 Inspiron 11 3000 is one of the most well-rounded budget 2-in-1s. Performance from its Pentium N3530 CPU was solid, and if you're willing to spend more than $500, you can kit it out with an even speedier Intel Core i3 processor. Its chassis is attractive without skimping on stability; its battery life was second only to the 10-inch Acer Switch 10E; and its display was brighter and more colorful than any of the other convertibles in our summer roundup.

Dell’s Inspiron 11 3000 Series 2-in-1 notebooks aren’t exactly unique. Lenovo, HP, Asus, and several other companies offer convertible notebook/tablet hybrids with similar designs. But Dell’s entry into this space is a model which offers decent performance, decent battery life, and a decent price.

70% Dell Inspiron 11 series 3000 review: This Yoga-like 2-in-1 laptop delivers solid value
Source: PC World Archive.org version
Even though the Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series is a better deal overall, the Lenovo Yoga 2 11’s somewhat sleeker design will likely win its share of buys. I always recommend kicking the tires in person before deciding which you want to own. If you want something faster or with greater screen resolution, shop the Pro variant of the Yoga 2, with its Core processors.

People who derive a lot of satisfaction from saving money by skipping the frills will really like the Inspiron 11 3000 2-in-1 laptop. It doesn’t play serious video games very well, bit it has plenty of power for tablet-oriented games. It provides a hassle-free Windows 8.1 experience and it handles ordinary tasks just fine. It also makes a fine, if somewhat heavy on occasion, tablet.

The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 Series 2-in-1 (3147) proves that you don't have to endure a stripped-down laptop when you only have $450 to spend. It combines a well-designed flipping hinge with all-day battery life and a relatively full feature set. All this earns the Inspiron 11 3000 Series 2-in-1 our first Editors' Choice for entry-level, convertible-hybrid laptops.

If you're in the market for an 11.6" convertible, it's easy to recommend the Dell Inspiron 11 unless you need the horsepower of a full Core i5 or i7 machine. The somewhat larger Dell XPS 12 and Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga would be two solid convertibles that come to mind with Intel Core CPUs and 12.5" designs. But those are typically $1,000 or more, and the Inspiron 11 is for those on tighter budgets and modest to moderate computing needs.

The Dell Inspiron 11 2-in-1 a reasonable low-cost purchase for basic uses. It would probably meet the demands of casual users who want a 2-in-1 without paying a premium for one. The device offers decent battery life, responsive touch display, and a strong hinge. However, with the poor key quality in the keyboard and cheap overall feel would negatively affect power users.

Dell offers an attractive and affordable compact convertible with long battery life—great for back-to-schoolers and frequent fliers. The Inspiron 11 3000 is a prime example—it's an attractive, affordable compact with a responsive touch screen for tablet and standup operations, enough horsepower for everyday productivity apps, and more than adequate battery life for most travelers.

The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 might not be a powerhouse, but if your computer needs don't go too far beyond basic home office or student work and nongaming entertainment, it's a great option. The design's versatility is nice to have, you can upgrade memory and storage yourself, and it has a long battery life to boot.

This model isn't intended to compete with more speedy products such as Dell's own XPS 12 convertible, but is instead a low-cost option for those of you who want a simple, 2-for-1 device. It's decent as a laptop when you want to get some writing done or just browse the Web, and it can be useful as a tablet when you want to flick through some photos or read a book.

The Inspiron 11 3000 is one of the most affordable 2-in-1 hybrids on the market. We like the handsome and sturdy silver design, which flips easily into tablet, stand or tent mode. The Inspiron 11 3000 also offers longer battery life than its low-cost competitors, as well as punchy speakers. The only notable drawbacks are the finicky touchpad and awkward power button placement.

Dell's 11-inch Inspiron 11 3000 2-in-1 hybrid laptop is a surprisingly good option for those on a budget that would like to have a laptop that can be used as a tablet from time to time. This isn't a performance system but a nice basic one for browsing the web, streaming media and productivity applications. The size and weight of the system make it less desirable for use as a tablet.

Comment

Model:

The Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series is sleek and pleasing to look at. Its metallic-looking case that is actually plastic looks sturdy. This particular Dell Inspiron is a laptop-tablet hybrid at 11.6 inch with a 1366 x 768 pixel touchscreen. IPS technology allows users to view the screen from all sides without losing clarity. It can fold back to 360 degrees on its sturdy dual hinge.

The Inspiron 11 has 3 modes available, laptop, tent (on its edges) and display (standing on its keyboard). The membrane keyboard is spill-resistant. Compared to its competitors the battery life is longer. It reaches an impressive 8 hours during normal use.

The Dell features a powerful hardware for only 1.4 kg. The Inspiron 3000 series is available with Intel Celeron dual core and Pentium quad core, depending on your needs. It houses a 4 GB internal memory and an integrated Intel Bay Trail HD graphics. The hybrid has 3 USB ports (one 3.0), a HDMI port, an SD card slot and a headphone/mic jack. It also has a decent 720p webcam with microphone for video chatting. It is a simple 2-for-1 device (as advertised by the Dell Homepage) that can double as a laptop for work and web-browsing, or a tablet for movies.

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

N3530: Soc with an integrated quad core Atom processor clocked at 2.2 - 2.6 GHz and an Intel HD Graphics GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Dell: Dell is a U.S. manufacturer (based in Texas) of computer hardware founded in 1984 and is one of the largest international manufacturers in terms of both market share and notebook models. Its product line includes desktops, notebooks, storage systems, monitors, servers, printers, consumer electronics and peripherals. Dell offers laptops that are suitable for various applications, such as business laptops, gaming laptops, ultra portables and workstations. Dell's business laptops from the Latitude and Precision series are an option for professional users and businesses.

In 2023, Dell had an approximate 17% market share of global PC sales, ranking #3 after Lenovo and HP.

For gaming enthusiasts, Dell's Alienware brand is for gaming notebooks.

67.7%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
